Coil Pack Failed!!

[mike.]

Just had a coil pack fail, 36K miles, car misfiring under load. Luckily two days before warranty runs out. 

I thought VW had sorted this issue.

When I looked up the part number on ETKA it has been updated twice since 2010.

Like you say Mike, at least it's happened within "warranty" as by the sounds of it good customers relations mean diddly scwat nower days...

Mmmm. Noticed a couple of times between 70-80 a slight flutter from the engine wonder if its the same thing mines is 3 year old with 12k in for a service in a couple of weeks hopefully they find something.

Bad news and interesting.
Thankfully a warranty job.

I remember the same thing started to happen to the mark 5's as i had mine done, and VW issued an under the radar recall, well they changed them if you mentioned it to them

How did you get on Mike...?

I wonder if mine is failing? In mornings the coil light stays on longer than normal? 46k brought in dec 2010.

Seems sorted, thanks.

Reading a bit on other forums it seems once one goes the others follow shortly after.
The general consensus is to fit a set of Audi R8 ones as they have a metal stem which dissipates the heat better
They are also cheaper than the GTI ones

Thats your glow plug light; it will stay on longer due to the colder temperatures to help warm the engine up

Diesels do not have coil packs
